Being John Malkovich

A miserable puppeteer pulling the strings amid New York’s concrete jungle discovers a narrow tunnel behind a filing cabinet at work that leads to another reality. This absurd blend of comedy and drama, directed by Spike Jonze, promises a strange journey through the dark recesses of the human mind and the twists and turns of the subconscious. This secret passage, which seeps into the skull of a famous actor, triggers the individual’s desire to abandon his own identity and body, while dragging everything left behind into absurd chaos. Beginning in a cramped office, this mental heist brings to the screen the state of alienation from one’s own self.
